Oh no Inniskeen, not whataboutery/Palerail. I credited you with more class than that. I'm all for examining alternative timetables but the 0505 is not working by any metric. I have several ideas about what could be done better - notably replacing the 0505 with a Nenagh-Ballybrophy shuttle which meets the Cork 0515 which stops there anyway - but every month of exemplary losses that go by makes that harder to countenance.
